Steele's power seem to present itself as the skill of predicting the future. That isn't exactly the case. He actually feels the synchronicities happening about him. What that means is he can feel the tide of events - the way things are going. He may be driving down the highway, and he decides, on a gut feeling, to take a different route than before. By doing that, he ends up avoiding a major car collision on his regular route. He learns to follow what his senses tell him, which leads an outside observer to conclude that he can indeed see the future, though that's not the case.
